It felt like we were staying with family...not just a typical resort. The cottage itself was immaculate, spacious, comfortable, well maintained and only a few steps away from the beach. I look forward to staying with them again, and will definitely stay longer. Thanks so much for a wonderful time Jim and Betsy!

What a great lil retreat and perfect getaway weekend. Just what we were looking for to relax and…read morerecharge this is ideal for a completely secluded and private retreat-- away from all people, shops, hustle n bustle... If you want the shops and restaurants or grocery store, it's a 20 min drive. There are multiple cottages to choose from, but since it was just the two of us, we opted for the lummi cottage. Cute and cozy- complete w a super warm fire

The lake nearby was so fun to visit and being so close to everything special (Mount Constitution, East Sound and Doe Bay etc) You're only 1.5 miles to the grocery store and gas station. The ferry ride from Anacortes was great and easy, just make a reservation. I'll definitely bring my whole family back. It was the perfect place to make great memories. We even got to wash our clothes before we left! Thanks so much!

WARNING - this house is beautiful with a spectacular vista from the large deck, exquisitely…read moredecorated interior, wonderful location and perfect amenities. BUT...it's like Fort Knox due to the fact that the owners will not allow ANYONE but those that are on their approved inhabitants list (no more than 10 and I don't just mean overnight quests - which I would understand). No family members, friends or folks that you may meet on the Island during your stay are allowed to step ONE TOE on their property lest you will have the sheriff physically escort your guests AND yourself off their property at any time without refund (which is in their cheery follow-up email that you receive a few days before your arrival). And they make sure of this by having camera's at the door to monitor your comings and goings and also conveniently park their RV just over the fence to keep you on the up and up. You may say that maybe they've had bad experiences but heck...charge a hefty deposit if that's the case. We asked permission to simply have my brother and his family come for dinner one night and we were promptly denied. So again, it's a great place but if you don't want to be kicked out if you happen to want to have friends or family over for even one evening meal...forget it.

The living room dining room, a small window in the bedroom and the kitchen stove overlooks the water. You can spend so much time just at the property.

Jennifer is a wonderful host. You can also see amazing sunset from this property. We would love to go back here and explore the heather cabin which sits just on the edge and has breathtaking views of the water

The Heather Cabin appears to have been built perhaps in the 1930's and retains its vintage charm. The Heather Cabin is very well maintained and has everything you need to be comfortable. The cabin is right on the water and the views are amazing and ever changing between morning, during the day, and at sunset. And you can enjoy the view from the picture window bedroom, from the many windows in the living room, and from vantage points just right outside the Cabin. Pictures describe better than words do, so here are some photos from our stay. Thank you, Cabins-on-the-Point. We'll be back.

First off, the location's wrong. This place is located right next to Obstruction Pass State Park…read more Use the directions on their website to guide you. Second, we didn't stay at the Inn, but boy do I wish I could afford it! The place is gorgeous! 57 acres of forest, a few trails including one up to a nice sunset bluff, and right on the beach (but an enviro-friendly 200 feet back, and nice preservation of the trees). This review is for the kayaking experience. We took a Saturday 9am paddle with Sandy (one-half of the owners). It was marvelous. They have the best-priced guided kayak tour on the island, and an excellent location to depart from. Sandy and Carl (her husband, the other owner), were friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. They answered all kinds of questions about Island life, environmental policy, wildlife, kayaking, etc. The gear was in great shape and they even had long boats (for the 2 tall men in the group) and gloves and boots for all. 8 of us went out in 4 boats and Sandy expertly assessed the group's interests and skills and kept us all herded and engaged. We saw bald eagles, seals, and plenty of intertidal stuff. After hearing that none of us had pressing engagements, Sandy stayed out with us an extra half hour, at least (hard to tell time on the water). Overall, a fabulous experience. Well worth the money (oh, and they take credit cards).

The owner/manager Aimee was absolutely incredible in answering all my questions and assisting me plan my ferry trip. Not enough words to express how incredible she was. Texting me and responding to my questions all the time! The lodging itself was incredible. I cried with happiness at being right on the waterfront. The views are so beautiful. Having a private fireplace was just the best. And my first night I saw a shooting star!! Inside is super comfy with a king size bed. The television was super easy to navigate and on a pivot mount that turned towards the bed. Relaxation made easy. Plenty of throw blankets too, for star gazing in warmth. The bathroom had an ocean view too. Like wow. The shower was a tad small, but that's ok. This is a boutique style place. Right on the water. Not a hotel room with the sounds of doors closings and opening all around you. Excellent! So very private and very quiet. Exactly what I needed. No daily room service, which was actually nice. I had my space. If I needed anything all I needed to do was text Aimee. The room had a small refrigerator, a pour over coffee machine and a small microwave. All I needed. I just moved in for three days. Do it!! Book it!! Perfect driving distance to other parts of the island. I just cannot express enough how zen I was able to get on this vacation. Amazing!! SYOY!

It's also really close to the town. The house itself was great!! I loved all the little touches like the tiling in the shower and the decor is so beautiful. It was very clean and it was like they had thought of everything we would need in the kitchen (gotta have that blender to make girls weekend margaritas) The house was really clean and there were plenty of towels for all 6 of us. We definitely enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of hiking and kayaking in the sound. The whole process of booking, checking in and checking out was so smooth!! Todd sent me a personalized login for their website where I had access to everything I needed including awesome touches like ideas on where to eat and hike. He had a great book put together to walk us through everything we needed to do at the end of the trip. He also checked in with me during the trip to make sure all was going smoothly. Great customer service!! All of the girls loved this place and we will definitely be planning another trip here in the future!

Clean the deck and cabinets, stove, dishwasher, and table. Sooooooo gross. Surprisingly the bathroom was ok. Not great. Some filth there too. The bed is very firm, I didn't care but the husband complained. We should be reimbursed for that cleaning fee. I cleaned more than the housekeeper did. The living room was cozy and the internet worked great! I imagine dogs are not allowed get my allergies went crazy and there was white fur on the furniture.
